New York-based North River Pittsburgh I, LLC purchased 31st Street Studios, the largest sound stage between New York and Los Angeles, for $14 Million. The 238,000 square foot multi-industrial complex sits riverfront on 9.36 acres in Pittsburgh’s iconic Strip District.

“The sale of the 31st Street Studios property is yet another example of the high velocity of the Strip District commercial real estate market and brings yet another high quality investment firm to the Pittsburgh market,” said Gregg Broujos, Managing Director & Founding Principal of Colliers International | Pittsburgh, who served as the broker for the public auction.

In addition to Broujos, John Bilyak, Principal, and Justin Kline, Associate for Colliers International | Pittsburgh along with Robert O. Lampl Law Office, represented the seller, Gateway Entertainment Studios LP.

“It was a team effort, but Gregg was instrumental in getting the property sold,” said Ryan Cooney, Lawyer at Robert O. Lampl Law Office. “With a bankruptcy case, there are more moving parts than your typical transaction, and Gregg was able to communicate well with everyone involved.”

According to their website, 31st Street Studios is home to many film and television productions with Sony Pictures, Paramount, and Netflix. Past productions include Dark Knight Rises, Jack Reacher, Fences, Southpaw, and Concussion.

Broujos commends Chris Breakwell, President and CEO of Gateway Entertainment Studios, for the phenomenal job he has done with the movie studio.

“It brings in an incredible amount of economic activity to the Pittsburgh region, and we really owe him a debt of gratitude for his work over the years and into the future.”
